Winter Beaching





Even in the winter Don and I still find ourselves spending a ridiculous amount of time playing at the beach. In town Golden Gardens is our favorite place to walk and check out tide pools during low tide. It's probably because I am from Idaho but I just can't get over living right in the middle of the city but being able to drive for 15 minutes and be here.

Vegan Nog! And french toast... Saffronog French Toast via Oh Ladycakes




When I saw this recipe for Saffronog French Toast posted on vegan baking blog Oh, Ladycakes I immediately started soaking the almonds and cashews. I had been wanting to find a recipe for vegan nog this holiday season and it was like Ashlae received some sort of telepathic message from me because this recipe is spot-on exactly what I was looking for. It has an almond milk base, cashews for creaminess, only dates are used for sweetening and best of all it's boozy! I used bourbon but the recipe calls for your choice of dark liquor. It was really hard to leave the saffronog alone last night so that I could use it for the french toast this morning. It is ridiculously good. 

This morning I got everything out, sliced up my bread and dunked all the slices into the nog. I let them all sit on a cookie sheet for about 15 min to really let the liquid soak in. Once thoroughly soaked in bourbony goodness I put a hefty nob of coconut oil into a skillet and fried those slices up. Don and I both channeled our inner Buddy The Elf and doused the french toast in pure maple syrup. We ate every last piece... 

This may be my favorite Oh, Ladycakes recipe. I can't believe it's possible to make egg nog and french toast vegan. What's going on here??

Visiting home through my iPhone

I just got back from an early Christmas visit to see my family in Idaho and Wyoming. I didn't bring my big girl camera but I have really been enjoying taking photos with my iPhone. Here are some of the things I saw as I  traveled from Utah to Wyoming to Idaho. 
I love when it's clear flying in and out of Seattle. I always reserve a seat by the window on the left side of the plane when leaving and on the right window side when flying back. This scene just doesn't get old.

The salt flats coming into Salt Lake are incredible from the air in the winter.

Landing in Jackson Hole, WY is a unique experience. The plane lands on a short snowy runway, flip a u-turn and drive back to the airport on the same runway.

We saw so many animal tracks while backcountry skiing; bears, moose, deer and little critters. This one we couldn't figure out. I put my hand print next to it to provide some size reference.  Hmmm.
